It has been a while since I have done a challenge and yesterday I thought to myself, I really need to take myself out of my comfort zone and do some challenges. I came across this colour challenge and decided to give it a go.All I can say is it definitely took me out of my armchair!!! The colours to use were: Poppy Parade, Island Indigo, Old Olive and Wisteria Wonder. I have worked with three colours before but that fourth colour was making my head spin LOL.My card took me all afternoon to make but here it is...After a LOT of humming and harring I chose one colour as my focal point. I chose Poppy Parade as it is so striking.I punched out flowers with one of the itty bitty shapes. I was going for a love theme and the flowers reminded me of the crosses when you write "xox".I was happy with how the heart turned out but I realised I hadn't added any Wisteria Wonder. That colour really threw me. In the end I went for a Wisteria Wonder brad (LOVE the new brads) and card base. Phew, I managed to squeak it in there!Thanks Carrie for a challenge that really took me out of my comfort zone!

This is stunning, Maree. There is so much love and attention to detail on this card that there is now way I can put it into words other than to say, BRAVO! Thank you for sharing your creativity at KKC this week!

OMG!!! This card totally rocks!! I love it and will be featuring it on My Crafty Picks #34 with a link back to your blog on 9-18-11. Make sure to check out all the other picks and to pick up your Blog Badge for being featured too!!

M - this is gorgeous - I recently did one with all the lil punched flowers - nothing as stunning as your art work above but I can attest to the 'labour of love' these cards are. The heart is so full of texture and rich with the colour challenge. Amazing job, Carole
